MDA STP Pallavpurm II Meerut - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Sardhana, Uttar Pradesh

MDA STP Pallavpurm II Meerut is an operational wastewater treatment plant located in Modipuram, Sardhana, near Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, India. The plant serves a population of approximately 33,406, making it a medium-sized facility within the state's wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in India, it operates under the national regulatory framework, including the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment Protection Act, 1986. For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet discharge standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB). The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Ganges River basin, a major river system supporting millions of people and diverse aquatic life. The plant's operation contributes to reducing pollution in the region's water resources and protecting downstream ecosystems.

The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local streams or drains that feed into the Hindon River or Kali River, both tributaries of the Yamuna River, which ultimately joins the Ganges River. The Ganges basin is ecologically significant, supporting a wide range of aquatic species and providing water for agriculture and drinking. Proper treatment at this plant helps mitigate nutrient and pathogen loads, protecting downstream water quality and biodiversity.
